Hi all,
Well, I posted that I may have good news soon, and it came today! We received a referral of a very cute 10 month old boy.
As with any referral, there are some medical concerns, and I'd like to ask the group for your advice.
First, he may have a hearing disorder. Did anyone have this on their referral document? If so, did it turn out to be true? We are asking for more information from the orphanage.
Second, he tested postive for Hep C. We're looking into a retest now because it is not uncommon for the later tests to turn out negative.
He was premature, but born at 35 weeks.
Last, the birthmom abused drugs, but not alcohol.

So, honestly. Please tell me if you think this is a "normal" referral. Did most of us have referrals without any risk factors? I want to be realistic, but my husband and I are not willing to accept major and/or untreatable medical issues.

I'll be interested to hear your thoughts.

Thank you.
